In a concerted effort to fortify the education system, the Education Department of Bihar is gearing up for the third phase of teacher appointments. The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) is set to issue advertisements in February, marking the initiation of the extensive recruitment process. An anticipated 70,000 teaching positions will be advertised, encompassing those yet to be filled from the previous two phases, totalling 20 to 25 thousand vacancies.
These forthcoming appointments will cater to different educational levels, including classes 6 to 8, classes 9 and 10, and classes 11 and 12. The move follows the Bihar government’s recent milestone of hiring nearly two lakh teachers in the past two months, signalling a significant stride toward revitalizing government schools in the state.
Acknowledging the longstanding challenges in Bihar’s education system, the recent surge in teacher appointments aims to rectify the student-teacher ratio. The Bihar Public Service Commission conducted the first phase of the teacher recruitment exam, witnessing over one lakh candidates qualifying. A historic moment unfolded on November 2, 2023, when one lakh appointment letters were distributed. Subsequently, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar directed officials to expedite the second phase, resulting in over 94,000 teachers receiving appointment letters on January 13.
This aggressive recruitment strategy has not only mitigated the acute shortage of teachers but has significantly improved the student-teacher ratio. In primary schools, the ratio now stands at 1:35, aligning with the national standard. Contrastingly, before the first phase of teacher recruitment, this ratio was 1:38, and before the appointment of two lakh teachers, it was a staggering 1:45. This remarkable shift signifies a transformative impact on education in Bihar.
Similarly, secondary schools have experienced an enhancement in the student-teacher ratio, now at 1:36 after the second phase of appointments, a substantial improvement from the previous ratio of 1:88. As Bihar continues its steadfast commitment to educational reform, these initiatives promise to reshape the educational landscape, ensuring a brighter future for students across the state.
